2009-2010 Season Comes to an end.
The goal of the Buffalo Sabres this year was to make the playoffs. They hadn’t been in three season, and the team was hungry for it. It fought off the Ottawa Senators late in the season for the division title, and earned a post season berth with the Boston Bruins.

Vanek to decide for Game Six
Still gasping for air in the conference quarterfinals, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff has left Thomas Vanek’s status for Game six up to the player.
Ruff knows whats on the line, and probably feels that the team could win without Vanek in the lineup, given the teams success in Game five, but the players presence could also [...]

Sabres gasping for air
The Buffalo Sabres proved tonight why they were the division winners, and how Boston’s offensive woes should have looked all season.
It took a Lindy Ruff shakeup of the lineup (benching Torres and losing Hecht and Vanek to injury) – and the Bruins finally succumbed to the Sabres talent.

Sabres limping into Game Four
The Buffalo Sabres have called Cody McCormick up from the Portland Pirates tonight.
McCormick will provided some added toughness to this team in the event that Vanek or Ellis (or both) cannot skate in Game 4.

Game Three Conference Quarterfinals
Tonight the Sabres and Bruins face off in game three of the Conference Quarterfinals.
Keys to the Game:
Contain Chara. The Sabres need to contain the giant Bruins defensemen. With injuries depleting the Bruins defense and offensive prowess, there are not as many weapons to defend against. Taking Chara out of the game will help the Sabres [...]

It might be overplayed – but when I hear a song that gets me pumped up for hockey…I am going to share it. This one is tops of the list right now given the fact that Boston has drawn the short straw in playing the Sabres in the first round.

Its a scene that plays out in movies, books, and sometimes in real life all the time. Deathrow inmate slowly taking his last steps towards his impending fate, hoping for an eleventh hour call from the governor and getting a stay of execution.
